Evolution is too important not to be the root, the trunk and the canopy of popular culture. And too significant not to be the foundation, the cement and the structure of civilization. And too fundamental and essential for life not to be at the very core of global education.

Religion contributes little more to society than to inconvenience the general public with a succession of pointless annual celebrations, and to subject entire nations to a perpetual string of depressing bank holiday shutdowns.
